FROM CHARLI XCX TO KAMALA HARRIS: HOW BRAT SUMMER IS REDEFINING STYLE AND ATTITUDE. 💪🏼🚀 Brat Summer: A Microtrend Redefining Aesthetic and Attitude The concept of 'Brat Summer' has taken the internet by storm, embodying an alluring slime-green aesthetic and an attitude that challenges societal norms. This Brat-movement, popularized by #CharliXCX's album of the same name, celebrates a rebellious, carefree spirit that embraces imperfection and indulges in individuality. From embracing contradictions and unapologetic self-assuredness to embodying an attitude of playful petulance and ambition, 'Brat Summer' offers a fresh perspective on personal expression and style. 'Brat Summer' is not limited to fashion and lifestyle choices; it also influences beauty trends, including #eyebrowstyles. This microtrend encourages a mix of vulnerability and edginess, striking a balance between embracing imperfections and exuding confidence. With the unexpected embrace of #BratSummer by public figures like #KamalaHarris, questions arise about the credibility of its adoption. As the trend transcends the realm of online culture and integrates into mainstream discourse, it prompts conversations about authenticity and appropriation. Is Harris genuinely aligning with the spirit of 'Brat Summer' or simply riding the wave for strategic purposes? https://lnkd.in/eCaYDzp3 #BratSummer #BratMovement #BratStyle #BratAttitude #RebelSpirit #Individuality #PlayfulBrutality #AmbitiousMindset #ImperfectlyConfident #Microtrends #OnlineCulture #MainstreamDiscourse #Authenticity #Appropriation #BeautyTrends #FashionInfluence #MicrotrendPodcast

Ex-Marketer turned Expert Stylist, Personal Brand Coach & Speaker | Empowering women through style to go after what they want, while looking amazing.
“How do you find an authentic style while living the busy working-mom-exec life?” More than once, I’ve found myself looking around at others for cues about what to wear as a business owner and mom. I’ve found myself tempted to just follow the latest athleisure trend to fit in at soccer games, or wear the colorful sheath dress for a speaking engagement. This approach to style spoke little to my aspirations, and instead to playing it safe and going the easy route. It was in these moments when temptation to “follow suit” was highest that I realized how crucial it is align your insides with your outsides, especially as a leader. My passion for personal styling is deeply rooted in being true to myself and to “color outside the lines” - as my mom used to tell me - no matter what others are doing. That means, no matter if I’m in mom or work mode, I will always honor myself because that’s how I know I will feel most empowered, energized and confident. In my styling process, it’s important that I focus on understanding each client’s unique story and challenges and quirks that only they can claim. (I’ve been told this is my zone of genius!) This is the foundational work that happens before we ever step foot in a (virtual) store, and what makes their wardrobe feel deeply personal and relatable to their professional aspirations. Old belief: “Style is about fitting in and being appropriate.” New belief: “Style is about standing out, expressing who I am and thus, amplifying my impact.” This shift from sameness to authenticity goes against everything we’ve been taught, but is where the magic happens if you want to experience true satisfaction and success. Because I work to discover each client’s uniqueness and aspirations, they gain a wardrobe that makes them feel liberated and unstoppable. And I couldn’t be prouder of that result! #capsulewardrobe #personalstyle #style #stylist #workstyle #personalbranding #marketing #entrepreneur #publicspeaking #executivestyle

Writer at 1 Finance | Script & Copywriter | Writes Hack Your Twenties, a newsletter exploring challenges and personal growth of the most volatile phase of one's life - the 20s, through my own experiences. Every Friday.
We are not as bad as we think we are. The same face can tell a dozen different stories, depending on who's looking at it. Imagine standing in front of a mirror, detailing every feature you believe to be flawed. Now picture a stranger observing you, seeing not flaws, but character, strength, and beauty. This was the essence of Dove's "Real Beauty Sketches." Participants described themselves to an FBI-trained sketch artist with their backs turned, hidden from view. Then, a stranger described the same person. The two sketches starkly contrasted: the self-described portraits were harsh, unforgiving; the stranger-described ones were flattering, kind. It's a profound lesson in perspectives. If you feel trapped by your self-image, change your viewpoint. Swap your mirror for the eyes of a stranger. Exchange your critical inner voice for words of kindness from someone who sees you differently. Much like changing habits to break routine and see life afresh—workout in the morning instead of evening, swap Bob Dylan for Chet Baker, or replace your coffee ritual with a dreamy, caffeine-free start. The experiment isn't just about shifting habits but transforming how we see ourselves, proving we are more beautiful than we think. Dove didn't just sell beauty products; it offered a new lens on self-worth and perception, challenging us to find beauty, not just in the reflection in the mirror, but in the views held by those around us. #selfcritique #dove #beauty

🌟 The True Measure of Worth: Beyond External Labels 🌟 Hey Beautiful Souls! 💖✨ In a world often dazzled by external labels and designer tags, it's crucial to reflect on where we place our true value. Let's shift the spotlight from the external to the internal, from brand names to authentic essence. 👗 Beyond the Fabric: True worth extends beyond the fabric of designer clothes. While brands like Gucci, YSL, LV are iconic, they don't define the richness of one's character, kindness, or depth of their soul. 💎 Authenticity Over Labels: Instead of measuring worth by external possessions, let's celebrate authenticity. A kind heart, genuine intentions, and the ability to uplift others—these are the qualities that truly shine. 🤝 Connections Over Collections: Building meaningful connections is more precious than amassing collections of high-end fashion. Shared laughter, genuine conversations, and emotional bonds are the real treasures of life. 🌈 Embrace Uniqueness: Let's champion individuality. The quirks, passions, and unique qualities that make each person who they are hold immeasurable value. Embrace and celebrate the diversity of our journeys. ⚖️ Balancing Priorities: There's nothing wrong with appreciating beautiful things, but let's balance our priorities. The joy of a shared sunset, the warmth of a sincere hug—these experiences are invaluable and can't be priced. 🌻 Cultivate Inner Beauty: Cultivate the garden of inner beauty. Compassion, empathy, and love are the seeds that blossom into a radiant soul. These qualities far surpass the temporary allure of external glamour. 🌟 Today's Affirmation: "My true worth lies in my authenticity, kindness, and the positive impact I bring to the world." 🌟 Let's redefine our measures of value and appreciate the profound beauty within ourselves and others. Because, in the grand tapestry of life, it's the threads of love and kindness that weave the most enduring and exquisite patterns. 💖🌈 #InnerBeauty #Authenticity #ValueFromWithin #LoveNotLabels

🌟 Embrace Your Authentic Style: A Lesson from Bridgerton 🌟 Reflecting on a poignant moment from Bridgerton, where Colin Bridgerton wisely advises, "Don't live for the estimation of others; it's a trap," I couldn't help but draw parallels to the journey of self-expression in beauty and style. As beauty content creators, it's easy to fall into the trap of seeking validation through others' opinions. Early in my career, I found myself doubting my choices, questioning whether my look would be accepted or criticized. It's exhausting and, frankly, uninspiring. However, over time, I've learned a valuable lesson: when you feel good, you shine. Whether it's experimenting with makeup trends or choosing an outfit that speaks to you, authenticity is key. It's not about conforming to trends or pleasing everyone—it's about embracing what makes you feel confident and happy. So, to my fellow creators, here's my advice: prioritize how you feel over how others perceive you. If a look or style resonates with your true self, own it boldly. Your authenticity will resonate far more than any fleeting trend or external approval. Remember, beauty is about self-expression and self-love. Let's empower each other to embrace our unique styles, celebrate diversity, and inspire others through genuine authenticity. And hey, if the lips are slightly more matte than you intended—own it with confidence! 😉💄 #BeautyContentCreators #AuthenticStyle #SelfExpression #Empowerment #BeautyInspiration Btw, if anyone reading this is trying to launch or grow their brand in fashion, beauty or luxury, please check us out and inbox us, we're a pretty big deal and we love to build empires.

Your personal style is exactly that—personal. The way you dress, and the energy behind that, is such an amazing way to let your authentic self shine through. And the really cool thing about that is… YOU get to decide what that is for YOU! Experiment, have fun, dabble outside of your comfort zone. Immerse yourself in the creativity behind it. Your style is a simple, yet super powerful way to express your true self. What do you want your look to say about you? How do you want to be perceived? The first impression you want to give? What feels right for YOU? I remember back when I wholeheartedly decided I no longer want to be the ‘corporate career woman’. It just wasn’t me anymore. Stepping into the next version of myself meant me getting to choose exactly what that was. And what that looked like. That’s when I started playing around with my own style—the balance of masculine, feminine, edge, elegant statements, to really lean into the style that felt authentically ME. Embracing this fully changed everything. My energy was different, what I was attracting started to changed (in the most incredible way!) And I was able to move into and through my next chapter feeling the sureness & confidence needed to continue to evolve my lifestyle how I wanted.✨ Showing up as your unique authentic self is what will make you magnetic. Your look and style, but also across your life. It then becomes more than your style, it’s your ‘life-style’.⚡️ . . . . #shestylesco #denverstylist #authenticstyle #stylist #elevatedstyle #personalstyle #wardroberefresh #authenticity #stylegoals #wardrobestylist #styleexpert #desiredlifestyle

As the morning light streams in, I jump out of bed, ready to conquer the day. With a burst of energy, I open the window and take a deep breath of the morning air. Today will be a fantastic day! But then, I open my wardrobe, and a wave of frustration washes over me. What on earth should I wear? I can't seem to find anything amidst the sea of clothes, and most of what I see actually doesn't fit anymore... I scan through my options, realizing nothing sparks joy. Nothing captures the vibrant energy coursing through me. And nothing seems to mirror the person I'm evolving into. What happened? My energy is sprinting ahead while my wardrobe is stuck in the past! Could it be that once my clothes catch up, my spirit will soar even higher? And then it hits me like a bolt of lightning: staying ahead with my wardrobe isn't just about looking good; it's about honoring my journey of self-discovery. It's about embracing the person I'm becoming and expressing that through what I wear. With renewed determination, I dive into the chaos of my closet, determined to create a wardrobe that speaks to my soul and empowers me to face the world with confidence. As I finally step out into the world, dressed in clothes that feel like an extension of my true self, I feel a shift within me. It's as if the universe is giving me a subtle nod of approval, paving the way for serendipity and magic to weave their way into the fabric of my day. 🤩 If you're feeling stuck in a wardrobe rut or struggling to express your true self through your style, why not join me on my 30-Day Signature Style Challenge!
